Teacup stingrays - update - June/08/2011

[charles]

If you ever want to try some inexpensive stingrays and always worry that it is easy to die, here is your best chance to try some.

These batch of teacups are by far the healthiest. This is the first time I have received without a single DOA fish, not even one with fungus/broken tails (very normal to see those full tails to get damage and fungus).

They are eating blackworm and bloodworm like a champ and always ready to search for food.

And best of all, they have been here since May/28/2011. You can see all of them have nice thick back and none were showing any sign of hip bone sticking up.

One word of advise, make sure your tank water is clean. They love clean water. Be warn, small fish like tetra will get eaten.

How would they get along with kribs, Charles?

I hear that get along great with discus as discus loves stingray eyes as delicacies.

Oh how I would love to but the only tank I have that would work is my african cichlid tank....and for some reason I dont think that would work out well

Someday ill try them, they are beautiful creatures

How would they get along with kribs, Charles?

my guess would be colorful feeders for the ray

I think this is one of Charles' urban legends

I have discus with my rays I have lost 7 of them to the rays if they are smaller than 3" they will be lunch for the rays I have seen the ray lie on top of the discus when they feed and the rays smother them and eat them then they have a tug of war with the fish and fight over it discus are not advised unless almost full grown
